Hi David, Glad that you and others in the UK have been able to work via the repeater during this weeks experiment. The reason of course that it has been quiet over hear is due to the regression time into very early morning passes. Of course it is even worse this time of the year in view of the cold weather. Maybe perhaps the opportunity will come again in the future perhaps with a look at operations in Europe for day time passes. But not with pile ups Hi! I think that the same considerations of course may apply about crew contacts as they are of course still in rest periods during our overnight passes. Good Luck to the team for the New Year and all, thanks also to all for another step forward with progress for amateur radio. Ken Eaton GW1FKY
